Seventh Annual Gathering of
Clar^Northern Isabella
Farmers a Success.
Women's   Section and  Poultry
Exhibit also Largely Attended
—Latter to Become
Independent.
The two-flay farmers'' institute last
.Friday -and Saturday brought a good
"representation of farmers from many
o >_amupiti$- In all directions. The
attendance at several of the sessions
■fan pass the 200 mark. The Interest
was good and the generally expressed
opinion was that the representation
of topics was on a far more practical
basis than for any previous year. E
W. Allen made a good presiding officer
and Secretary Pease did a whole lot of
hustling all the time. The institute
■was never before so well advertised
and the whole arrangements were sat
is/actorily carried out). J. "W. Hut-
chins of Hanover as institute conductor kept the various meetings on a
good substantial foundation and many
valuable lessons were acquired by
those present. There were some
changes of speakers from the announced program. The conference of highway commissioners with a representative of Comr. Earl was an interesting
section.

POTJliTIiy EXHIBIT.
The Second year's exhibit of poultry
brought out so many exhibitors that
it is proposed to effect forthwith an

Lewis Oass CI1U1 ^February 14,
The item In last week's issue stating that the date of the annual banquet of the Lewis Cass Club is February 2d, should have read February 14.
Gqr esteemed contemporary in his
issue of the same date makes the following comment thereon:
•Membersof the Lewis Cass Club who
note in the Olare Sentinel of today
that the annual meeting of the. Club
will be held February 2d, should noc
be deceived thereby. It's simply one
of that papers old tricks.
Last August, however, he who now
passes judgment so quickly on another
got so badly mixed on the dates of
Gov. Warner*s visit at the Wise
Farmer's Club picnic at Stevenson
Lake and the Woodmen's picnic at
Harrison that after the events he
found it necessary to make the following apologetic explanation:
An error in announcing the dates of
the Farmers' and Woodmen picnics of
this week appeared m this paper last
week, and which is greatly regretted
by the editor It is the purpose of all
reputable newspapers to correctly
chronicle news items of such general
interest, but errors will occasionally
creep in.
At that time, however, the Sentinel did not charge tirckery against
our esteemed contemporary, although
the wrong date was given too late to
have it corrected, nor does it do so
now, but it dues now gladly make correction of its own inadvertanb mis
take, that was made in ample time
to be corrected. But that there was
no intent to mislead by giving the
wrong date is shown in the fact that
the item in question beyond being a
mere news item sought mildly to suggest a reason for the gradual change
of the date of the Lewis Cass Club
banquet.
The first banquet of this Club was
December 31st, 1902; the second De
cember 31st, 1903; the third February
14th, 1905; and the fourth is announced
for February 14th, 1906, a date most
convenient for arousing part*? en thus
iasm just prior to the city campaign.
But two or three years ago much was
heard of a republican club organized
on the eve of a city election and the
presence of a secretary of the republi
can state central committee in CUre
to conduct the municipal campaign,
we were told, and the introduction of
state influences into that campaign,
all of which insinuating statements
were accompanied by the most eloquent appeals for the election of the
city officials on a non-partisan basis.
This, year the state democrat leaders
are to be brought to C/are on the ev6
of the city election and the secretary
of the democrat state central committee will undoubtedly superintend the
municipal campaign.
Of course tbe city democrat leaders
are entirely within their rights to do
all these things. But it is at least not
unwise for the Taxpayers to notice
that these same leaders, the avowed
advocates of non-partisanship, are
now guilty of the very things they
charged their opponents with three
years ago.
Young to Die,
In the death of Perry, the seven
year old son of Bert Putnam, at the
home of his grand-mother, Mrs.
Martha Putnam in Gilmore, a gentle
life has ceased. Affected with spinal
trouble from babyhood, not able-to
walk for the past year, yet withal
patient always, he endeared himself
to all who knew him. The funeral
occurred from the Gilmore Baptist
church January 2nd.
Can it he that our darling has lefrus forever,
Our darling the pride ot our home,
That death's cruel hand the life cord has severed,
That Perry our loved one lias gone?
He has gone to tbe heavenly kingdom above,
Prom the cares of the world he is free,
To Jesus who said in his wonderous love ,
Let little ones come unto me,
We know, when death calls us and takes us
tway »
Prom this world of sorrow and pain,
To that heavenlj"*kingdom where 'tis all das',
We shall meet our dear Perry again.
Faoe Badljf injured.
Burt Graham, a farmer fifty years of
age near Stevenson Lake, while engaged in skidding logs Tu-sday for Ed,
Russell, Jr., was struck on the left
side of the face by a skidding hook
which, entering the cheek bone, passed
through the nasal bone and, through
the eye ball to the upper lid and, lacerating not a little, came out without taking bones and eye ball with it
Dr. F R Gray was called and found
ifc necessa.y to remove the eye ball
The bones were adjusted and the patient is now doing well,'

Mrs. Nancy Hazelton-Turbusii.
At the age of seventy-four Mrs. Wm.
Turbush died at the old homestead in
■Vernon Monday from that fatal malady, cancer. Sbe had been ailing for
six years and seriously 111 for the past
six months prior to her death. The
funeral occured from the Baptist
church Tuesday, Rev. J. H. Lowe officiating. Interment was made at
Cherry Grove.
Deceased was born at Boston, Ont,,
in 1831. In 1864 in Ingham county she
was united in marriage to Wm. 'Turbush. In 1866 when the entire
country here was an unreclaimed wilderness, they settled on section thirty-
' four in Vernon township, being among
the first settlers, and in the years since
she shared in all the struggles and
privations of pioneer life and on to
conditions as they existed up to the
time of the breaking down of her
health. With the husband three sons
and two daughters survive—Mrs
James Loomis of Wise, Frank Reeves
of Shepherd, Mrs. John Loomis of
Montana, Elmer Hunt of "Nebraska
and Geo. Turbush of Vernon. Three
sisters and one brother also survive.
One by one the pioneers pass away
and in a few more years none will be
left to tell us at first hand the story
of the dajs'of the first settlers.

The farmers at Chippewa or at least

Supervisor Lamoreaux has appointed

Some of the politicians are beginning to talk just a little as to advisi-
bility of petitioning for the submission
to the voters of the respective parties
of the county the adoption of primary
reform for the nomination of county
officers. Most of the people, however,
don't seem to be taking much interest
inthematter, Itwiilnofc need tocome
to a final issue till early in May which
is the time when petitions signed by
twenty per cent of the voters of a
party must be filed with the connty
clerk, If the vote is to be taken.
Dr. W. M. Morris of Cass City, state
veterinary surgeon, was in the city
Friday of last week to investigate hog
cholera cases reported at the farm of
John O. Warner which is operated by
Rilry Leffingwell, and the result ot
his visit was tbat thirteen hogs were
ordered killed. This makes a loss of
28, Including the ones which bad died
with the disease. The peculiar part
of this whole matter, is that when
stock is ordered destroyed in this
wholesale manner, the state reinburs-
es the own. r for just the value of the
same at the time of destroying, or, as
it is named in the statute covering
the case, present value, and- it can be
left to the imagination to determine
what a bunch of cholera infected hogs
would be worth at the time they were
killed. They wouldn't make good
wagon grcese. That law ought to be
fixed —Mt Pleasant Courier.
